Item
7.01 Regulation
FD Disclosure
On
November 20, 2007, representatives of LHC Group, Inc. (the “Company”) will
be making a presentation at the LHC Group Investor Relations Day in New
York
City using slides containing the information attached to this Current
Report on
Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
By
filing
this report on Form 8-K and furnishing this information, the Company
makes no
admission as to the materiality of any information in this report that
is
required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.
The
investor presentation slides include financial information not prepared
in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP Financial
Measures”).
A
reconciliation of the Non-GAAP Financial Measure Earnings Before Interest,
Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) which is included in the slides
to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”), as required by Regulation G, is included in the
slide presentation.
The
Company is providing disclosure of the reconciliation of the reported Non-GAAP
Financial Measure used in the investor presentation slides, among other
places,
to its comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis. The Company believes
that
the Non-GAAP Financial Measure provides investors the ability to evaluate
financial performance in a way that is comparable to measures reported
by other
home nursing companies.
The
information contained in the slides is summary information that is intended
to
be considered in the context of the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) filings and other public announcements that it may make, by press
release or otherwise, from time to time. The Company undertakes no duty
or
obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained in this
report, although it may do so from time to time as its management believes
is
warranted. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports
or
documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public
disclosure.
In
accordance with General Instruction B.2 of this Current Report on Form
8-K, the
information presented herein shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of
Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it
be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities
Exchange
Act of 1933, as amended, except as previously set forth by specific reference
in
such a filing.
When
included in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the words “intends,” “anticipates,”
“believes,” “estimates” and analogous expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements inherently are subject to a
variety
of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others,
general economic and business conditions, current cash flows and operating
deficits, debt service needs, adverse changes in federal and state laws
relating
to the health care industry, competition, regulatory initiatives and compliance
with governmental regulations, patient preferences and various other matters,
many of which are beyond the Company’s control. These forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company
expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any
updates or any changes in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any
changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is
based.
